Up to no good, those two…even the choo-choo on the TV seems to agree…(that’s Miles and Linus, for the record.)

While the kids are away, Mom will play…(Super Mario Bros, mostly.)

Somehow the shirt seems appropriate while Grandpa is showing Linus how to ride his new tricycle. Today was Christmas at Granny and Grandpas, and everyone made out like bandits. Fun!

Is it cheating if I didn’t take the picture? Never mind. George got this one of me and Oliver looking at me and Linus snuggled up to me.

Maybe not the best picture, technically, I thought it was a sweet moment between Oliver and Daddy. While Miles and Linus duked it out over the cereal box.

Linus in his blue jacket with his blue eyes. I still wonder…how in the world did I end up with blue-eyed children? (No genetics lesson needed, I mean I know why…but still, it’s weird!)

Proof that vegetables are, indeed, occasionally ingested by the toddlers. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.

Linus coloring (or “cuh-nuh-nuh” as the boys say.)

One of their favorite things to do. One of my least favorite is picking up the millions of crayon pieces that litter the playroom floor.

We went to a birthday party for a seven year old boy today in our neighborhood. There were light sabers for the boys (coooool) and twinkly star wands for the girls. The boys did enjoy their light sabers for a while, but found themselves entranced by the stars too. This is Linus with his star wand.

(And yes, I pretended the party was for me.)

Miles of smiles….

Now we just need to get rid of the pacifiers, but I’m not quite ready for the hours and hours of screaming this is going to entail.
